I've noticed that lemmy as a whole is much more leftist than reddit (outside of political servers of course) (lemmy.world)

I can't really think of a reason for that as Reddit is hated somewhat equally by "both" sides of the spectrum. It's just something I find interesting.

Yeah, the western single line political spectrum is the most Fischer price useless shit ever designed. Left and right isn't the problem. It's the useless distorted political spectrum were taught to use. And our purposefully deficient political education. It has us treating a center right loosely pro social democracy party as if they're extreme lefties and right wing authoritarians as if authoritarianism is just what happens when you go further right. It isn't. But that's how they justify their continued foray into anti-democratic authoritarianism.
